Appendix D Creating a Customized Deep Freeze Enterprise
Console
The Deep Freeze Enterprise Console includes the ability to create a new Enterprise Console with
limited capabilities. A customized, limited console can be distributed in your organization to allow
certain users to perform desired tasks, while ensuring they do not have access to the full
capabilities of the Enterprise Console.
In this example, we will create a limited Console suitable for distribution to a teacher or computer
lab instructor. In this scenario, we want the teacher to be able to restart machines, lock the
keyboard and mouse on demand, and send messages to the students. However, we do not want the
teacher to be able to boot the machines into a Thawed state, uninstall Deep Freeze, or perform
other IT-exclusive tasks.
The Console Customizer can be launched from Tools > Console Customizer.
We will leave Console functions > Activation selected. This will ensure that if the new Console is
moved to a different computer, a One Time Password will need to be entered on the computer the
new Console is moved to. If this security precaution is not a concern in your environment, do not
select this option.
Console functions > One Time Password is not selected because we do not want a teacher to be
able to reboot the computer in Thawed mode under any circumstances. If a teacher reboots the
computer in Thawed mode, students might install unnecessary software on the computer which
will be retained even after a reboot.
We will leave all options under Workstation commands selected because we want a teacher to be
able to send messages to students, and to shutdown, restart, and wake computers as required.
